Kenneth Lutchen, Dean, College of Engineering, and Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, ENG

I want to thank the BU Faculty Council and the Sargent College Faculty Council for their efforts in electing members to serve on the committee. I also want to thank the members of the committee for their service and give special acknowledgement to Professor David Barlow who has agreed to serve as Chair.

As I outlined in my memo of September 3, the selection of a new dean is among the most important decisions we make. The Sargent College Dean Search Advisory Committee will immediately begin its work of soliciting nominations, recruiting outstanding candidates, assessing the qualifications and strengths of nominees and applicants, and consulting with the relevant stakeholders. I look forward to receiving its recommendations of 3-5 qualified candidates by April 4, 2014 for final selection by President Brown and approval by the Board of Trustees.
